SRC571AFF09 problem

I am setting up a new i5 model 520 with two partitions.
On one of the partitions I installed V5R4 and the current cum.PTF.
It has a 571A SCSI card, two 4326 disks and two external devices (DVD-Ram
drive and SLR60 tape drive) .

When I do an IPL, the attention light goes on, and when I subsequently log
in and do WRKPRB, there is a message saying "* Attention * Contact your
hardware service provider".

Looking into this problem, I see a system reference code 571AFF09; the
device mentioned is the 571A SCSI card, and the original reference code is
FF09.

I have been trying to find out what this FF09 reference code means, and I
found it mentioned in some online documents relating to other iSeries
models, other CD rom and tape drive models than the ones I have. They all
say something like this:

Licensed Internal Code for tape unit was not upgraded
The I/O processor loading of Licensed Internal Code (LIC) to the
programmable tape drive was not completed.

The tape drive will continue to operate with the previous LIC.
etc...

or, for optical drives:

Licensed Internal Code for optical device was not upgraded
This reference code is logged for information only.

I am assuming that in my case this error means the same thing, Licensed
Internal Code for SCSI card not upgraded... (please correct me if I am
wrong!). To me this sounds like a software problem, not hardware

Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem? Regardless of the message,
the DVD & tape drives attached to the 571A card seem to work normally...

Thanks in advance,

Etienne

I think you need to update the LIC on the card through service tools,
guessing though.

Re: SRC571AFF09 problem

Etienne,

the 571A has 2 busses,each bus can be used either internal or external,
but not both. so one bus is for the internal disks, the other for the
tape and DVD. in the previous version of this card (5702 etc.) this
configuration was not possible. the external SLR60 could not be daisy
chained. I expect this is also true for the 571A
